I don't know about the foil but we have used cardboard to make it warmer.

Make it as deep and wide as you can get in behind. Also a small shelf a few inches above the radiator helps direct the heat out into the room. (You can get slot-on ones if you're not handy). Then sit back and enjoy the snow! All the best.

Hi kffrmw88, many thanks for reply I think I have the idea now. Just one more question; do you cut the cardboard the length of the radiator. Many thanks, helen x

Place a foil-covered piece of cardboard behind each radiator. The shiny side of the foil should be facing the radiator, and the cardboard should be leaning slightly backwards against the wall.

After a couple of hours, adjust the thermostat if necessary. It should feel noticeably warmer in the center of each room with a heat reflector. Good luck.
